THE Labour Party enjoys a lead
of 18,000 votes over the Nation-
alist Party in MaltaToday's sec-
ond and final election survey.
But the gap between the two
major parties could be anything
in the range between 12,607
votes and 28,775 votes, depend-
ing on different scenarios and
statistical models.
In the 2022 general election
the gap between the two parties
stood at a whopping 39,000 votes.
The results are based on a
projected turnout of 79.2%, a
decrease of 3.5% from the 2022
election.
The survey is based on a robust
sample of 1,382 respondents and
has a margin of error of +/-2.6
points. The survey was conduct-
ed between 13 May and 24 May,
which coincided with the third
and fourth weeks of the cam-
paign.
But the results shows that a sub-
stantial 11.7% of voters are still
undecided on who they will be
voting for, equivalent to around
41,571 voters. This introduces
an element of uncertainty in the
polls, simply because the unde-
cided can still swing the election
either way even if Labour starts
with a clear advantage.
